SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

To simplify software development, Cyclone Microsystems has created the Breeze Development
Environment

TM

.

Breeze includes initialization routines, hardware control routines and functions which

provide a simple interface to the PCI bus. Source code for accessing the Breeze Development Environ-
ment

TM

is included with the CPCI-824, allowing Breeze functions to be incorporated in a real-time

operating system as well.

The Breeze Development Environment

TM

has been designed to make the development cycle on the

CPIC-713 as simple as possible. Source code provided for Breeze also acts as example code to aid
developers in creatnig their own applications. Breeze is present on all CPCI-824 systems and its
debugging facilities are available during the development cycle.

Breeze for the CPCI-824 has been developed with the aid of the Wind River HSI VisionPROBE
software debugger and VisionCLICK user interface. The VisionPROBE degugger communicates with
a JTAG port on the CPCI-824. It provides the capability to download user code to Flash ROM or
SDRAM. It is recommended that developers obtain a set of these tools or their equivalents to support
application code development.

A complete description of the Breeze Development Environment

TM

can be found in the “Breeze for

PowerPC 440GX Developer’s Manual”, see Section 1.5, Reference Manuals.
